City of the Ram-Man:The Story of Ancient MendesDonald B. Redford

"This interesting and engaging book shows how one major archaeological field project--the excavations at Mendes--illuminates nearly the entire sweep of ancient Egyptian history. One of the major Egyptologists of his generation, Donald Redford is a giant, and this book plays on a giant stage. It is also a great read."--John S. Holladay Jr., professor emeritus, University of Toronto
